For a moment there, I thought you were going to tell us that the navy blue pants had white stripes down the sides. Whew!

You should write a letter.

Maybe he should. It would likely go to more people in your little corner of the country too. ;)

Peace

I would love to come up with a "Northeast Illinois" line here, but I'm on my way out to my last holiday party. BillyMac signing off, and as JRutledge likes to say, and as I like to hear him say, "Peace".

And I am sure there are more officials there than in your neck of the woods.

5849 statewide and I would bet more than half of them are in the Chicago area alone (specifically 3167). I am sure quite a big more than in such a small state. ;)

lol...there is NO WAY this was a H.S. game...:p

No it wasn't a HS game, but it was for a league which mandates "high school dress" for officials.

The Official's manual requires that the shoes be all-black. At the D1 level a lot of the guys do what they want because their schedules are safe. If you are in a competitive (observor) settting or you know your boss wants black shoes, I would make sure you abide.

You never know when you get the "black shoes" stickler as an observer. Don't let fashion get in the way.

Kind of our situation here...you MUST wear all black if you want to work tourneys. Also, I wear the flat front beltless pants because me and pleats don't get along. I was told it will slide for now but if I want to do tourneys down the road I need pleated beltless pants.

Allowed in the North TX...Dallas / Fort Worth officiating chapters.

Our association requires all-black and that's what we do. "No big deal." AND, we look like a team out there.

Same here. In fact, it was one of the items mentioned recently in a blanket email.

So what do you do if you are wearing different shoes? What does that have to do with looking like a team? Don't teams have different players with different shoes? Just asking.

Peace
